He promised! the Officer n the guard that
he would talk oz,iy atcrt religion But
his first question lslit Up an impossible
barrier between us. 1e asked how We
could be so wicked rs 10 come down there
and fight AGAINST the south and try to
oserturn their government We had been
trying TO repent Ct our sins, but had not
go; SO far as that particular one Jet. and
answered little tartly by asking how he
and his friends could be SO wicked rs To
rebel against good government. He
answered by reference 10 the north try
ing TO overthrow slavery, and / asked
him If il was possible that he, minister,
was an apologist for slavery! IL hap
pened that be was q Jealous defender Of
the institution and very sensitive on this
point; and SO much noise was soon made
in the discussion that the guard removed
him. He did not come again.
But our interview and subsequent &C
quaintance with Rev. Mr.. MacDonen was
Of very different character, though it
also opened unpromisingiy. In his first
prayer he petitioned very earnestly that
our lives might be spared if consistent
with the good OF the Confectionery. This
offended some Of us, but the better opinion
was that if sincere in his loyalty to the
rebel authority, he could hardly have
prayed differently So kind was he to rs
atterward that some thought he might
possibly be a Union man in real senti-
meats: but he has since assured me that he
was not in the slightest degree, and that
sll he did for us was at the dictates Of hu-
mainly and religion We had a very pleas
ant interview. He gave us valuable coun-
sci, and felt it a great privilege to talk
over religious questions with one so intel
ligent and sympathetic. When he left he
promised 10 send us some books, and did
not forget to promptly forward them.
These we took good care OF, read thor
ou2lly to all in the room and then re-
turned, asking for more. These he gener
ally gave, and we thus continued till we
had read nearly his whole library. Those
only who know what d dreadful weari-
ness it is to pass days without any def
mite emf loyment can realize the great
boon these good books bestowed on us. 1t
made the prison room veritable school;
aud in view of our religious efforts the
character of the books was just what we
would most have desired. did not care,
as in Knoxville, for law books, but the
fact that many, though not ALL Of the
minister's books were Of a theological and
religious cast only made them the more
welcome This Atlanta Jail was my
theological seminary!

GROWTH OF ABIe Book. When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published in
one volume, it was a comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
dition was made of 1900 Pictorial illus-
trations, A Table of aynonyms, and an
Appendix of New Words that had come
into use. A few years later came an en-
tirely new revised edition of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations, then.
after interval of a few years, Biograph
ical Dictionary Of nearly 10000 Names
and Supplement of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
new and most valuable addition, A
Gazetteer Of the World, of over $4,000
Titles. The work is now not only the
Dictionary, par excellence, but Bio
graphical Dictionary, Gazetteer ofthe
World, and great many other good
things in its many valuable Tables.

A Sure Thing
That Bismarck will have thor
ough and unsurpassed system of water
works in the year of our Lord 1887 is an
established fact. E. 81. Bly, returned from
the east yesterday, accompanied by Colonel
Monroe, Of Providence, R. l., who has en-
tered into contract to have the water of
the Missouri river flowing through Bis
marck before November 1st next. The
citizens of Bismarck are to be congratu-
lated upon the successful work of the men
who have been the leaders in this matter,
and the fact that most of the capital for
this enterprise is furnished by Bismarck
gentlemen is proof of the confidence and
good faith Of the contracting parties. Great
credit is due E. d. BLY,, Alexander Nc
Kenzie and r. B. Mellon for the good
work they have done, and the good they
have accomplished.
Colonel Monroe, the gentleman who has
the contract to put in the works is thorough
in the business, having constructed works
for many OF the important cities in the
union, and he was highly recommended by
Mr.: Morrison, the famous engineer who is
well known in Bismarck.
who are now paying Is cents per barrel

WILL BUILD At ONCE.

The Plans of Architect Dow For the Ad-
dition to the Penitentisry Accepted.
The board of directors of the North Da-
kota penitentiary in this city met at the
penitentiary yesterday afternoon, present
Chairman McCabe, of Jamestown, N. L.
Shattuck and W. c. Plumley, of Fargo,
John Russell. of Valley City, and Alexan-
der Mckenzie and John A. Mclean, of
Bismarck. The board accepted the plans
and specifications of Architect Dow, under
whose direction the present building was
erected, and decided that instead of build
ing wing on the north end the south end
shall be extended 70 feet, thus saving ex-
penses in the management of the institu-
ton, and giving the wing already started
dimensions which will need no alterations
or additions for years.
The board will advertise for bids at once.
and work will be commenced at the earli-
est date possible. The citizens of Bis
marck, as well as of all portions of Dakota,
will be pleased to learn that Mr.. Dow's
plans have been accepted, as he is known
to be one of the best architects in the en-
tire northwest, and will see that the addi-
tional structure will be first class in every
particular.
